Since I got the good idea to do a recap of my year of travels last year, I figured I should probably go ahead and keep it up and recap 2012. This year was a big one: two overseas trips, many domestic trips, Alaska (including the northernmost point in the US), and my first time to the Caribbean (Puerto Rico). I re-qualified for Platinum Medallion on Delta again and even topped last year’s total Medallion Qualification Miles (MQM) total, which means that I will be in a good position for starting the year out.
